2nd Mix” & That Other Movie

ccc-197-specialgirl(czar)quickieandfreedomfemaletemplate-01ccc-197-specialgirl(czar)quickieandfreedomfemaletemplate2-01

I’m actually skeptical about “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2”. I read a review on cbr.com that said it was more or the same from the first movie. It wasn’t exactly a negative review, but not super positive. The original movie sets quite a high bar. I’d put as 4th best comic book movie period. To me “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” beats it by a hair. I’m talking tenths of a point. It has a better post-credit scene and I like the darker tone. Can it actually be as good as or better than the original? Guess we’ll see this week…

I’m think I’m burying the lead here though. So this comic is two pages. I saw 2 big problems with the comics the way ther were before.

  1. The font could be easier to read
  2. Trying to fit all the word balloons made it hard to know what to read next

I addressed the first problem by changing the font and increasing the size. The 2nd one was simple, but took awhile to come to. Why cram everything in one panel? “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” was suppose to be a one panel comic. Why does it have to be though? If I have to edit a good chunk I what I want to write and the comic is still hard to read why do it this way. Would it take more time? More than likely not more than resizing word balloons over and over to try to fit everything. So I’m going to use two panels when I need to and I hope it makes a better reading experience.

Tomorrow Special-Girl gets a lesson about living together from couple with some experience. That couple is Q-girl and Spiderous-Man so she should take it with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I need some help. Let me know if you:

  • Like the new font I used for this comic
  • Find this new font easier to read
  • Or like the old font better/ easier to read

I decided to try out a new font after someone commented that one of last week’s comics was hard to read on Facebook. The knee jerk reaction is to get defensive, but then I thought about it. Could the comic be easier to read with a different font? The font I used before was one I created using YouFont.com. I thought it was a happy medium between drawing in the letters by hand, and using a computer font.

I then went and did some searching and found a few fonts I liked. Then out of those fonts I chose the one I felt was the clearest and easiest to read. I’m going to do some more searching and find new fonts for the title of other elements of these comics.

Secret Empire… Even A Shield Around The Earth Can’t Protect Us From It

Moving on, Marvel’s newest big crossover started last week with “Secret Empire” 0… Sigh! Can we skip to the part where “Captain America” is normal again and not a “Hydra” agent. Also “Marvel” can we not have a crossover for AT LEAST two years. Everybody gives “Captain America” control of everything, and it doesn’t go well. It looks like all the other heroes are down and “Hydra” is running things now… This doesn’t even feel like it’s going to be fun to make fun of…

Tomorrow Slowku talks with the secret group of heroes that has been shaping world events. The specific members he talks with are The Innovator, Headmaster Fresh, and Mr. Stretch. They talk about desserts and Special-Girl. Again, let me know what you think of the new font. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I’ve done it once again. I wrote too much material for this comic. Usually I complete the comic for the most part before I go to work. I then write these posts later. Not today. Now I have to cut stuff and fit what I can into it when I get home from work.

 damn-damn-damn-o

Oh well… As I’ve mentioned I plan on doing a “Sailor Moon” thing for the 200th one of these comics. Then I noticed something. That would be the same week after “Guardians Of The Galaxy” Vol.2 comes out. I DEFINITELY want to address that in these comics.

 doh

What I’m thinking now is that the 200th comic will have 2 parts to it. A “200a” which would be a normal comic. There would also be a “200b” which will be several pages. Kinda like last year’s holiday special.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

ccc-192-specialgirl(czar)theminstrelhazardhandsandslowkutemplate-01

I’ve been circling around this idea of Special-Girl and Slowku hanging out for a while. I felt as Trump’s Czar of Superpowered Bitches she need someone to play off. Also she’d want to fill someone’s head with pro-Trump nonsense. Slowku seemed like a good candidate. Another thing I wanted address was the rumor the The Minstrel is Kellyanne Conway. Now that Kellyanne isn’t a big media pressence anymore it would be less of a big deal.

Alright, let’s talk some X-men again. Over the weekend I checked out “X-men: Blue” 1. This one has the time displaced younger versions of the original “X-men”. I can’t deal with them in general. It makes no sense that time isn’t destroyed by this. For some reason young “Jean Grey” is the leader even though “Cyclops” is right there. I haven’t followed these character much. Now “Angel” has fire wings and “Beast” does magic or something… Okay…

freshprince

Then the big reveal at the end is… Wait for it… They work for “Magneto”… Except “Magneto” has been apart of the “X-men” for like 10 years now. So what’s the big deal… But wait there’s more!

There was buzz that this was where they were going to bring back the real “Wolverine”. Yeah not so much. It’s “Ultimate Wolverine’s” son. Who sucks. Welp done with the comic.

Tomorrow Special-Girl, Q-boy, & Slowku continue talking about Special-Girl and Slowku hanging out. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

With these comics I’m still figuring things out. I say this because I’m going to change what I’m doing with “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” again.

 loki

My new plan is to only update when I have completed panels or in some cases more than one done. Also I’m going to stop the updating on Monday. That seems to be day when most people aren’t checking out comics. I’m debating posting these comics on days “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” gets posted.

I’m still in the middle of the writing process for “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” 66. I’m also working on something planned for “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” 200. It will break format and involve the introduction of my version of “Sailor Moon”. I’ll get more into this later…

Now for this actual comic. I know I can’t be alone with “Better Call Saul” right? Like it’s okay, but “Breaking Bad” was SO great. Although “Gus” is suppose to be on this season so that might be interesting.

That’s it for this week. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesdays-Thursdays. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

I posted the long awaited “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” 65 and not until too late noticed I screwed up. Distraction Lass gets her arm blown off in one panel. A couple panels later though there’s the same arm intact.

doh

I fixed it though…Aaand as I write I also realize I forgot to put the fixed version on the site.

doh2

Enough with my screw ups. This comic was a weird one wasn’t it? This combination of characters seems to lead me down weird rabbit holes. Trying to psycho analyze someone as thick as Slowku leads to quick frustration. Especially when you’re also working with someone with as many issues as Special-Girl. Then you have Hazard Hands being there to be petty. It’s a nice gumbo of craziness to work with. Tomorrow these guys return to dive deeper down this rabbit hole. They get derailed though…

Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, Hazard Hands, Quickie & Spiderous-Man On The P@&$^ Commercial

ccc-188-specialgirl(czar)hazardhandsapexquickieandspiderousmantemplate-01

Wow. Pepsi stepped in it with that commercial, huh? Guess we all learned a couple things here. One, don’t use serious subjects to sell products. Two, which is more important, stay away from Kardashians.

Enough of that, let’s talk some “X-men”. So over the last couple weeks I read “X-men: Prime” and “X-men: Gold” 1… I can’t express how much I want to like “X-men”. “X-men” was one of my favorite things ever for the longest time. Now it’s hard even read ABOUT what’s going on in “X-men” nontheless the actual comics.

So “X-men: Prime” is an entire comic about making “Kitty Pryde” the leader and moving the school to central park. Do they fight anyone or do anything exciting? Nah. Setting up those two things is pretty much it. Alright, starting out rough already.

“X-men: Gold” 1 is… Ya know what I can’t get past one thing in this. There’s a character named “Prestige”. Now I assumed this was a new character. No. This is “Rachael Summers”.

 freshprince

There’s a dumb explanation why she shouldn’t go by “Phoenix” or “Marvel Girl”, but “Prestige”?! Why not go by “Rachel Summers” then? Also her costume is terrible. Other than that it was… Meh! Not great, not terrible.

Tomorrow, Special-Girl and Hazard Hands return. They talk with The Minstrel and Slowku about… Well it somehow becomes about asexual reproduction. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #65 –

The Last Distraction Of Distraction Lass (Update 9)

qbs65(update9)

More than likely what you’ll be seeing now is the first section of the final panel of this comic. This panel is actually 3 seperate panels.

 freshprince

This weekend I’ll try to finish this whole comic, and that will be the update for Monday.

 surejan

On to some comic show talk. First the positive stuff. Gotta say the “Legends Of Tomorrow” finale was pretty good. Again I must applaud the VAST improvement over the first season.

Now… Sigh! Let’s get to it…. “Agents Of Shield” came back… Why can’t this show stay away forever?! Or better yet make is not part of the “Marvel Cinematic Universe”. The loose connection to it is the only thing this forces me to slog through this every episode. This reminds me of something some guy on “Twitter” tweeted. It was about how “Skye” should’ve been the main chick in the “Ghost In A Shell” movie. As I said in my reply to this I don’t care about “Ghost In A Shell”. To me the original anime was well animated, but I was never super big on it. Anyways, I replied to that tweet with a gif of “Michael Scott” screaming “no!”.

 office-no

The characters on this show are terrible. There’s nothing you can do with them. You can throw in “Ghost Rider”. (Horrible waste of a character). You can change reality. It doesn’t matter. These characters are dull. Oh and unless “Ward” actually alive and the last 3 seasons of this show were a dream. Don’t bother bringing him back. It’s annoying at this point.

That’s it for this week. As stated before, there will another update on this comic on Monday. Check out “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Special-Girl, The Minstrel, Hazard Hands, & Slowku On Special-Girl’s Issues

ccc-187-specialgirl(czar)theminstrelhazardhandsandslowkutemplate-01

So you might be wondering what Special-Girl is freaking out about. This stuff about the a multi-verse the died got referred to before. This was way back in “Criminal And Crimfighter Conversations” 36. You can check that out here http://bit.ly/ccconver36 .

To re-explain I’ll paraphase what I wrote then. “This one has some references to “Crisis Of Infinite Earth””. This was “the big event of DC Comics that ended its multi-verse”. The main thing is in “Crisis” “The Flash” and “Supergirl” die in it. Also the “DC” heroes don’t remember “Crisis” happening. In my version, my verions of them (Quickie and Special-Girl) remember it happening. They are the only once who do though.

buffy

…And that’s enough convoluted continuity stuff for now. That’s it was “Criminal And Crimefigher Conversations” this week. Check out another update to “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” 65. More than likely is will be a look at the final panel. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
